A Guide On How To Channel Your Spirit Guides And Get Specific Responses
Using your body as a vessel for divine communication
Channeling your spirit guides can give you a very fulfilling feeling because you’re communicating with the spirit of someone who is always by your side and guiding you throughout your life. This spirit will never lead you down the wrong path and they’re always ready to provide you with help when you ask for it.
When you channel this spirit, you’re opening up your mind and body to receiving divine information that only your spirit guide can provide you with.
Channeling can be a very tough process for beginners because it’s hard to form a connection to your guide and absorb their words without letting your own thoughts and emotions get in the way.
You should practice channeling as often as possible. I’m at the point where I can easily channel my guide anywhere at any time and receive messages whenever I need them and let me tell you, it is actually life-changing.
Once you know that there really is a higher force guiding everything, you can’t help but feel a sense of relief because you know that even if you feel like giving up, someone is still rooting for you and helping you out behind the scenes.
I’ve created a helpful guide that gives you all the basic information you need to channel your spirit guide. All of this information comes from my personal experiences and what I’ve noticed works best for others.
Before reading this, I feel like it’s important to say that your guide will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If you’re not open to receiving a different perspective, do not channel your guides.
By the end of this article hopefully, you walk away with the confidence to tap into the wisdom your spirit team wants to share with you!
How Do You Know If It’s Your Spirit Guide You’re Communicating With?
The first thing I need you to remember is that while channeling is a powerful tool to get the answers you seek and strengthen your relationship with the spirit world, it can also be very dangerous.
Even using other forms of divination such as tarot or pendulums can be dangerous because you’re essentially opening up a portal for these spirits to come through and communicate.
When you channel someone from the other side you have to make sure you are setting the intention of only connecting with the spirit you’re trying to reach. It would also be best to do a meditation beforehand and visualize yourself in a golden bubble that only positive entities can enter.
You can even burn some sage or light a protection candle. Whatever makes you feel the safest.
As long as you let it be known who you’re trying to reach and you know you’re divinely protected, the chances of something negative messing with you are low.
How Do We Know When They’re Here?
There are two ways of finding out if your spirit guide is ready to communicate with you.
The first way is to pay attention to the energy shift. Once you open yourself up to receiving divine guidance your frequency will shift to a higher one because you’re now vibing on the 5D level instead of the 3D level.
When your spirit guide gives you the green light to start asking your questions you might feel a loving, safe energy surround you. It shouldn’t feel too foreign because like I mentioned before, these guides are always around, it’s just a matter of acknowledging them.
The other way to know if you’re spirit guide is ready to communicate is by literally asking them for a sign. Just say out loud: “To my spirit guide and only my spirit guide, can you please show me a sign that you’re ready to talk?” I know, it sounds a little too straightforward to be real but trust me, you’re spirit guides are equally as blunt.
They want to make the process of reaching them as easy as possible for you so that you can gain the confidence to communicate with them whenever you can.
When I do this, I usually hear a ringing in my ear or a tingling sensation in my nose or third eye which is a sign that they want to communicate with me.
It’s important to note that just because you want to communicate with your guide, it doesn’t mean they want to.
Honestly, this is hardly the case because your guides love you and always want to help you but if you’ve been asking the same question over and over, they won’t keep responding.
Ask your question once and keep it pushing.
The more you ask the same question the more you’re showing you don’t trust your guide. Accept their message the first time and trust that they will work to give you the best possible outcome.
When they don’t want to talk you’ll feel a blockage in your head and you won’t hear anything. If this is the case, just let it be and still thank them for all that they do for you.
If your spirit guide does want to communicate, get a pen and paper ready because these messages come in quick and leave just as fast!
What Type Of Questions Should You Ask?
You’re free to ask anything really. The only thing you should try not to ask about is the personal life of another person. Would you want someone to intrude on your life in this way? Even if you’re just trying to do a reading on someone, you should always get a verbal “yes” from them before you go digging into their lives.
Also, don’t ask about death. I still don’t know why people are so curious about how and when they’re gonna die but regardless, don’t ask.
Here is a list of some of my favorite questions to ask my guide:
- What blessing is on its way to me next?
- What is in store for me over the next 3 months? (You can change the time frame)
- What can I do to improve my life at the moment?
- What advice do you have for me regarding the current challenge I’m facing?
- Do you have any general messages for me?
- Is there anything that I need to know right now?
- How are you? (I know that technically nothing can actually be wrong with them, but it’s still a cute way to show that I care)
- What should I know about the path that I’m on right now?
- What can I do to increase my finances?
- What subconscious blockages do I need to work on clearing?
- What are my dreams trying to tell me?
- Who is the next person coming into my life?
If you’re asking questions about the future, remember that your future is not set in stone and the answers you get can change at any time.
How Do The Guides Respond?
When you’re channeling your guides I’ve noticed that the most common way they tend to respond is by giving you words or phrases in your head. However, this also depends on what type of psychic abilities you have unlocked. And yes, we are all psychic.
For example, if your clairvoyance abilities are stronger than your claircognizance abilities, then you may receive your responses through pictures in your head rather than actual words.
Is It You Or Them?
Now we’ll get to the most commonly asked question when channeling spirit: If I’m receiving words in my head, how do I know it’s my spirit guide and not my mind playing tricks on me?
The reason I highly recommend meditation before you try to communicate with your guides is because it allows you to completely clear your mind. When you talk to your guides you shouldn’t have any active thoughts.
All you have to do is ask your question and listen to what they have to say.
If you don’t have a clear mind then yes, your intrusive thoughts will get the best of you which leads me to my other point.
Unlike your intrusive thoughts, your spirit guide will never tell you anything that will instill fear within you, unless it’s for your protection.
Remember, these are divine spirits are their sole purpose is to guide you. They’re not going to scare you out of taking an opportunity or stepping outside of your comfort zone, but your intrusive thoughts will.
Everything your guide tells you should be reassuring and comforting.
Also, another point worth mentioning is sometimes, the messages will make absolutely no sense and be oddly specific.
For example, I was channeling my guide the other day and she kept giving me colors, which I didn’t understand. Lo and behold, the next day I saw a bird with the exact same colors which I took as a personal sign from my guide that I really did connect with her and that everything is going according to plan.
You might even hear repeating numbers in your head which are angel numbers you should look out for. After channeling your guide, you should definitely google the meaning behind those numbers because they hold a message for you.
While these messages might not make sense at the moment, they will eventually, and they serve as a good sign that it’s your spirit guide communicating with you and you’re not just talking to yourself.
Extra Tips
I personally work very closely with one of my guides who is like a best friend to me now.
When I channel, I usually always end up feeling a little dizzy and tired afterward because channeling really does use up a lot of your energy.
I wouldn’t recommend channeling for more than 15 minutes because it can get a bit too draining and the information will get cloudy. It should really only take 5–10 minutes to get the answers you need. If you’re doing multiple sessions make sure you take breaks in between to reground yourself.
You can also use tarot cards or oracle cards to help piece all the information together and create a storyline.
Remember to always express gratitude to your guides for the information they give you, even if it wasn’t what you wanted to hear.
The last tip is to believe in yourself. You are not crazy! That voice in your head reassuring you that everything is going to work out and telling you they're proud of you are words from the divine. Trust your intuition.
Channeling can be very hard at first but I promise you it does get easier and more detailed over time. The key is to let your guide run the show. Just listen and absorb the divine advice they’re giving you.
If you want to reach out to your guide, I hope something in this article helps you with the process. Remember to protect yourself. Sending love, light, and healing energy your way. Good luck on your journey!
